MECHANISM FOR CONTROLLING MOBILITY IN NETWORK SHARING ENVIRONMENT

摘要

There is provided a mechanism for controlling and supporting network sharing wherein common and dedicated system information are transmitted to host network elements being located in a shared cell. The common system information comprises a base station identification information for identifying a base station communicating in a cell, and an information element indicating radio frequency channels used by neighboring cells communication networks sharing the shared cell. On the basis of the received system information, at least of the common system information, a cell reselection procedure, a local communication area measurement procedure or a cell measurement and reporting procedure is conducted by a host network element. A permission indication is further signaled which is used to limit the number of cells to be considered in the cell reselection procedure or a cell measurement and reporting procedure.
